He was also responsible for the Eri mano event last year after AX kind of removed her from her premier.

I imagine Chase has a good standing with the groups and managements, its something you may want to go on the AM2 forums and request for future guests. I'm sure Chase and his team will listen and look into who people want to see and the earlier the better.

Personally after listening to last night podcasts, I love the idea that with the passport you can get into parties with the guests so you know it may be a huge plus to incase that still stands in the future years hahaha

So he helped get Morning Musume to anime expo?
It would be so very amazing to see ēC-ute sometime.
I'm not sure about Morning Musume because if they keep getting new members each year that may make it hard.

more of a back story where Chase did PR for AX for better part of a decade raising numbers but the previous CEO fired him and replaced him, but took all his contacts which led into a lawsuit.

During the rule of the crappiest CEO ever roughly 50% or more of the volunteer were fired or quit and even messed up a big movie premier for Eri Mano from hello project. According to Chase he crated Clun2themax to rectify this since her management team went to him and a good amount of staffers and volunteers wanted to support and that's how AM2 came to be.
Since Chase seems to know a lot about anime's, music or probably listens to the people around him a lot he seems to be much cooler guy
